(PRESCOTT, Ariz.) - Preston Terry Myers was born October 28, 1987 to Brad A. Myers and Lori Lee Batchelor Myers. He passed away surrounded by his family, and returned to his Heavenly Father on February 5, 2014 in Prescott, Arizona.

Although born in Phoenix, Arizona, he lived in St. George, Utah for most of his life, including his elementary, middle, and high school years. He married Lexie Ollie Petersen, and though they later divorced, she held a special place in his heart.

At a young age, he developed a passion for his true loves: basketball, fishing, golf, anything that involved riding on a board, video games, and friends, many of which were girls. He loved to cheer for the underdog, which might explain his unwavering loyalty to the Utah Jazz. He is a bright and wonderful soul who loves to laugh and help others do the same. He absolutely adored little children. His nephews Jackson and Henry are his favorites.

Preston loved being with his family and he teased and joked with them as much as possible. Preston’s unique and wonderful personality allowed him to walk in many circles, thus making friends from every race, religion, and nationality. He loved them all. He was a huge Harry Potter fan and claimed to be from the House of Slytherin. He and his trusty boxer dog named Floyd had many adventures and he called him his son. Preston touched many lives and will be EXTREMELY missed and NEVER forgotten. He is now in his Heavenly Father’s care and watching over us.

A viewing will be held at Spilsbury Mortuary, 110 S. Bluff St., St. George, UT, on Sunday, February 9, 2014 from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. and again on Monday, February 10, at the LDS St. George YSA Stake Center, 441 S. 2200 E., St. George, UT (by the dinosaur tracks) from 11:00 am. until 12:30 p.m. Funeral services will begin at 1:00 p.m. at the same location. Interment will take place in Tonaquint Cemetery, 1777 S. Dixie Drive, St. George, UT.

The family wishes to thank the Yavapai Regional Medical Center ICU Team in Prescott, AZ for their kind and loving service to us and our son. We will be forever grateful.
